The Flood / Re: Monitors
« on: September 28, 2017, 10:14:53 PM »
I did quite a bit of research into ultrawide monitors recently. Honestly it's a neat idea but too few games take advantage of the increase in FOV. 16:9 are much more universal and for the price you're better off just buying two of them.
Playing games or movies on two 16:9s would suck though.

You don't play one game on two monitors, you play one game on one monitor and have YouTube open on the other monitor.

I definitely understand how its an intriguing concept but it's a waste of money to buy one ultrawide screen.
I know that, but I already have a main gaming monitor that I would play games on. I'm not too interested in 3 screens (2 of which would be relatively low quality then), so I feel like getting a larger ultrawide one would be good for the second screen.

So just buy a top tier 16:9

you really dont have to if you already have a gaming monitor tho. just get something with high dynamic colouring or something for movies and such.
Well, I'm officially torn, lol.
Ultrawide is better for work, 16:9 is better for media.

If you already have a monitor you play games on, Ultrawide may be better for you. Snapping windows to the left and right is very useful on screens of this aspect ratio, and unlike in a 16:9 screen, the windows remain very useable. Almost as wide, even, as two 4:3 monitors.

This can make playing a game, watching YouTube, and chatting with friends all simultaneously a simple task, and keep your desk free of the clutter of a third screen.

Ultimately, 21:9 offers a lot of advantages for users seeking to multitask, but little for gamers.
I already ordered an ultrawide earlier today. The 29" LG 29UM68 (IPS). Featured in all but one of the "best ultrawide monitors 2017" lists I found (and the only one that didn't have it listed in its top 5 instead featured the 34" model). It's got a response time of 5ms, an input lag of 10ms and a refresh rate of 75 hz. Those are pretty decent specs and because it has some decent gaming features (it's also marketed as a gaming monitor), it should do a fine job for any games I might want to play on it. I'm not looking for the highest refresh rates (my 144hz one takes care of any fast competitive games) or 1440p (skipping that resolution for 4k in the future), so this will be excellent for me and it comes at a great price ($250). I'll be using it as my main monitor for browsing, work and everyday tasks. My 144hz one will be used for fast games and (depending on how well I like it) the ultrawide for slower games - with the other monitor serving as an extra one in that case. I'm having it delivered on Saturday and am definitely looking forward to giving it a try.
LG tends to dominate those lists, even from reviewers who purchase their test products instead of getting them free, which is a good sign.

Let's fly at half mast tomorrow in mourning.
How you meant to word that was *Lets fly at half mast tomorrow in mourning.*
No, Let's is a contraction meaning "Let us", while Lets is a present tense verb.

No. Venetian architecture is not the same as Roman architecture or Florentine architecture.
Renaissance Florence was on point.

I'm going on a little break for a couple days.

There's lolis in the fridge for when you get hungry, and if you need anything, PM das because the actual staff is useless.

I'll be back next week, and this place better not be full of thoughtful, well formatted posts when I get here.

Oh yeah, and no radical Islamic terror movements.

The story also takes a massive nose dive half way through book four and never recovers in the books after.

the difference is, the maturation in HP is gradual
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

Book 5 was dreadfully boring.

In order of necessity

Games;

Story
Characters  (design is minor, but needs good writing and voice acting if the game has it.)
Gameplay (a game can look horrible, but if it plays great as seen its very forgivable)
Framerate (ties into gameplay in a sense, a game can look beautiful, but if it chugs and jumps itll ruin the experience)
Design (theme, artstyle, setting and OST)
Graphical fidelity

Dont care if a game looks dated, if it has a greay story and plays great then Ill like it.
I can only imagine that people who favor story over gameplay tend to get disappointed a whole lot.
This is what manchildren who still play nintendo games actually believe.

hey guys wanna argue even more? Can good gameplay make up for shit story and characters?
One ruins the other.

The Flood / Re: Pizza Hut and Dominos are not pizza
« on: August 01, 2017, 08:40:27 PM »
Meh.

The nearest of either of those chains to me is about a 45 minute car journey, and the local hipster place does shit pizzas. I'd kill for something resembling pizza that at least tastes good than none at all.

Does this look like a hipster place?


That looks like the one good pizza place in my hometown.
Up here though, there's one on every corner and they're all damned good.

I never understood the liking of chain pizza anyway... little ceasars might be an exception though.
But like, do people just really not have decent pizza joints near them that a Hut is able to flourish?
Oh man there's no real pizza in most of the US.
It's almost exclusive to the northeast.

enjoy being unable to appreciate art
I'm sure you won't, but you might believe that's what enjoyment feels like.

Because of the autism.

1590
If you know all the parts of something intimately, you can't love it.
This is the opposite of the truth.

The more intimately I know every detail of any work of art that I enjoy, I just love it even more.
You are autistic.

That's not a slight.
You're actually autistic.

This actually explains everything.

You don't understand chance, art, or work, and it all stems from this fundamental fact that you, because of autism, cannot appreciate the romance of beauty that is fleeting. The raw energy of mystery. Wonderment in it's simplest form.

To know is never enough.
Man yearns to ask and to wonder.
